(-7,2) perpendicular to y= -4/3x -5
write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form

Question

daniellelovee · Answer

im guessing you have to find out the perpendicular of the given equation in which case you would just do the opposite reciprocal of the slope

anonymous · Answer

@Daniellelovee yeah i have no idea, do you know the equation?

anonymous · Answer

wait im solving it

daniellelovee · Answer

if you have -4/3 then the opposite reciprocal will be 3/4

anonymous · Answer

y=3/4x-5

daniellelovee · Answer

yup

Sure :)

nnesha · Answer

they need u to find equation of perpendicular line in slope intercept form

nnesha · Answer

and yes slope intercept  form equation is  y = mx+b
now you have to find perpendicular slope 
so perpendicular slope is should opposite of slope that you have "-4/3" <-- flip it and change sign 
so perpendicular slope is 3/4

nnesha · Answer

now use that one order pair to find y-intercept

replace x and y and then solve for b
